The Lock Shop
St. George lock shop offering key cutting, lock sales, rekeying and repair services.
A St. George lock shop offering key cutting, lock sales, rekeying and repair.
Background
A key stamped Do Not Duplicate carries no legal force. The phrase is a request, and nothing prevents an ordinary key-cutting machine from copying the blank, which means it provides no real control over how many keys exist for a door. Genuine key control works differently: a restricted keyway uses a blank that is patented and distributed only to authorized dealers, so copies can only be produced by an authorized party against a signed authorization. For a rental, an office or any door where knowing the exact number of keys in circulation matters, that distinction is the whole point.

Does a Do Not Duplicate stamp actually prevent copying?
No. It is a request with no legal force, and a standard key-cutting machine can copy the blank. Real key control requires a restricted keyway, where the blank is patented and supplied only to authorized dealers who cut copies against a signed authorization.
